With some planning, you could convince most of them to change schedules at the same time as you change the DST regulations.

- henrikschroder 8y agoWith some planning, you could convince most Americans to switch to the metric system as well! Not gonna hold my breath for that one.
- ycombobreaker 8y agoOr, just change the clocks twice a year. Sounds like you are advocating the same end result (one-hour shift twice a year to preserve afternoon daylight time), but simply abolishing the current implementation. The present implementation is well understood, and most importantly standardized and automated at scale. Anything else would require massive effort to switch toward, so can you explain why it is a net improvement to spend that effort?
- Natanael_L 8y agoThe improvement is that we won't have a clock that's permanently arbitrarily shifted because of ancient convention.
- jonathanstrange 8y agoThe time on the unshifted clock is also an arbitrary convention.
